Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice is the failure of a healthcare provider to render care according to accepted medical techniques or principles. Healthcare providers include physicians, nurses, dentists, podiatrists, pharmacists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and hospitals.

Examples of medical malpractice include: failure to properly diagnose or treat an injury; failure to timely diagnose a condition; improperly prescribing or dispensing medications; and conducting improper or unauthorized surgical procedures. Given the complexity and cost of pursuing a medical malpractice claim, the firm only is able to represent persons who have suffered very severe injuries because of the healthcare provider's malpractice.
